Pumpkin Bliss!

Still all about the smiles here at My Pumpkin Challenge #0914!
So, I know this card is super simple, but one of the things that really makes me smile is COLOR!  And we all know that one of my all time favorite colors ever (lately!) is Blackberry Bliss - so of course I had to do a "conversion" to that color sometime!
I cut a basic card base In Blackberry Bliss CS, and also replace the closure circles provided in the kit with circles I punched in the same color.  A touch of bling, a little Hello Honey to coordinate, and we are out the door!
Hint:  To make the circle closure, I first punched a 1/8" Circle in some scrap.  I then turned over my 3/4" Circle Punch so I could "find" the tiny pilot hole in the center of that circle.  So much easier than trying to center a tiny hole after I'd already cut out the larger circle!

Blendabilities Class Sep 18 or Sep 20!
I'm so excited to announce this class - it's kind of a new style for me!  The goal of this class is to PUT THESE MARKERS IN YOUR HANDS, for some serious play-time!  I want you to see how easy they are to use, and how many different ways you can use them, to add some color ZING to your projects!
Class will include 4 complete projects featuring Blendas, with as much prep as I can do for you, so you have all kinds of time to color away!  We'll be exploring several fun techniques and embellishment ideas.  As an added bonus, included in this class is your own Blendability Color Lifter to keep!  You know you want it!  So, class is announced for Thursday, September 18, 6:30 pm, or Saturday, September 20, 4 pm.  Class is $20 and will have the usual drinks and snacks on hand!  RSVP now!

In{k}spired Psalm 91

I knew as soon as I saw In{k}spire Me #163's mellow color choices that I wanted to pair it with this week's sketch from Fab Friday #49!
I thought at first that that I'd go with a floral image, but then my scripture card box got raided again this weekend.  I'm glad these cards speak to some, but it sure is hard to keep myself stocked up sometimes, lol!  Anyway, this quote from Psalm 91 is so reassuring, especially since I could use a good resting place myself these days.  God's Peace to you all, dear ones.

Fresh Bright Spirits

I love the classic layout style of this week's Fresh Made Sketch #152 - the design team really pulled out the stops in showing how versatile this sketch is!
I decided to go fairly clean and simple myself, though I did flip it over so I could align my sentiment how I wanted.  I've been wanting to use this Making Spirits Bright set since I first spotted it in the Holiday Mini!  (And YES, we all know I really got it for that eyeball martini, I'll get to that eventually!)  With my DSP so bright and varied, I was able to keep my own coloring to a minimum, and squeeze in the one color this DSP is missing with the ribbon, lol.  Always room for even MORE colors, right?

This week's Nacho Average Challenge #105 really gives me a chance to choose a strong focal image!  Of course, that means I have to "flip it,"  and make a strong sentiment focus instead, lol...  And of course, a strong sentiment focus calls for scripture!
Digging through my scripture collection, this gorgeous quote from 1 Corinthians 2:9 has just the right shape for the sketch.  Rather than distract from the words with an additional image, I decided to do the second square shape in more DSP - I love this DSP collection!  Such unusual coordinates that look so nice!  Enjoy!

Do you love presents?  I do!  And that makes me so excited about this week's Merry Monday #124 - Use a Gift or Present!
I'll try to keep my comments about this card brief, as there's a ridiculously long supply list, sigh.  I just needed a lot of little things, what can I say?  I got a picture in my head of Gym Sock Santa dancing around with an oversize present, and that was all she wrote!
These guys make me laugh so hard - and I STILL haven't used the moose in jammies!

Retro Festival of Trees 2!

Wow, check out the angles and stripes at this week's Retro Sketch #130!  So fun and full of movement!
I know I've had Christmas on the brain a lot lately, but these stripes made me think immediately of the awesome new washi collection I got from the holiday catalog, that coordinates with the All Is Calm DSP.  Yummy!  With five different tapes in the set, it was easy to add lots of variety to my card front.  I decided to mix in my faboo Festival of Trees stamp set, too - have I mentioned yet this hour how much I love photopolymer stamps?  I'll be hard-pressed not to two-step stamp pretty much everything now, lol!

Ahh, another happy marriage, this time of Clean & Simple #304 and Sunday Stamps #83!
Looking for a sentiment that I could meet the sketch challenge with, I came across my Fabulous Four set - it's getting a workout this week!  And I won't lie - three tries with the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to get it right, lol.  It worked great, I just had some trouble with my masking - grrr!  Then I hit on using old washi tape - perfect!  I'm a bit abashed to admit it, but I have, um, quite a few rolls that I don't think I'll through any other way, sigh.  At least it's going to a worthy cause - I do quite a bit of masking!  Enjoy!

You know what makes ME smile??  Getting an awesome pumpkin in the mail every month to play with!  It makes our My Pumpkin Challenge #0914 - What Makes You Smile SO appropriate!
Something else that makes me smile, lol, is giving little gifts, of love, of encouragement, for anything at all!  I made this little set of gift tags just for that!  I can see hanging them from a bottle of wine, tying around a posy, or on a fancy package - the sky's the limit!  They all fit in this adorable little box that I made with the new Gift Box Punch Board, too.  So fun to use!  I sort of folded mine inside out to add a little more interest to the outside - came out pretty cool!  You SO have to try this!
A quick hint:  my little card bases are 4 1/2" x 3 1/4", scored on the long edge at 2 1/4".  I trimmed down the little stripey papers from the kit to 3 1/8" x 2 1/8".  There's just enough room for my layers!  I punched my corner holes for the twine with my Crop-A-Dile Big Bite!
So, make sure to show us what makes you smile this month - it's just what the pumpkin ordered!

What a whimsical sketch at this week's In{k}spire Me #162!  I have to do what I can to bring on the fun!
I think a birthday card will fit that bill - so out comes Cupcake Party - yay!  So fun to dream up frosting colors for this one, lol...  Somehow all these stamps fit together in style, I think.  And, I finally got a chance to try curving one of the photopolymer borders right on the block - so groovy!

Love love LOVE all the takes on the layers by the design team at this week's Freshly Made Sketch #151!
I decided to feature my fave new DSP from the Holiday catalog - All Is Calm.  I really adore the color combos and patterns - makes me just want to show it off whenever I can!  So gorgeous...  Anyway, of course the patterns and colors gave me the great Pear Pizzazz and Lost Lagoon combo for the sentiment, and since it's a holiday paper, I went with a holiday phrase.  Good ole' Luke, he likes to tell it like it is!
